In Throne and Liberty, the Paladin is a versatile class that excels in tanking, support, and melee DPS, depending on your build. Heres a breakdown of how to optimize a Paladin build for different roles: Core Paladin Weapons Paladins typically use Sword & Shield (primary) for tanking/support and Greatsword (secondary) for DPS. Alternatively, you can pair with Wand & Tome for a more support-heavy build. Recommended Weapon Combos: Tank/Support: Sword & Shield + Wand & Tome Hybrid DPS/Tank: Sword & Shield + Greatsword Pure DPS: Greatsword + Sword & Shield (for survivability) Best Paladin Builds A) Tank/Support Paladin (Sword & Shield + Wand & Tome) Role: Frontline tank with healing/buffs Key Skills: - Sword & Shield: Taunt, Block, Shield Bash - Wand & Tome: Healing Light, Aura of Protection Stats Priority: - Strength (for defense/block) - Wisdom (for healing/support) - Vitality (HP pool) B) DPS Paladin (Greatsword + Sword & Shield) Role: Burst damage with survivability Key Skills: - Greatsword: Cleave, Whirlwind, Executioners Strike - Sword & Shield: Defensive Stance (for survivability) Stats Priority: - Strength (main damage) - Dexterity (crit chance) - Vitality (HP sustain) C) Hybrid Paladin (Balanced Tank/DPS) Role: Flexible frontline fighter Weapons: Sword & Shield + Greatsword Stats Priority: - Strength (damage & defense) - Vitality (HP sustain) - Wisdom (minor support buffs) Best Stats Allocation Role Primary Stat Secondary Stat Tertiary Stat Tank/Support Strength Wisdom Vitality DPS Strength Dexterity Vitality Hybrid Strength Vitality Wisdom Key Skills & Rotations Tank/Support Rotation: Taunt (Sword & Shield) Pull aggro Block/Shield Bash Mitigate damage Healing Light (Wand & Tome) Sustain team DPS Rotation: Whirlwind (Greatsword) AoE damage Executioners Strike Single-target burst Defensive Stance (Sword & Shield) Survive counterattacks Best Gear & Traits Armor: Heavy Armor (prioritize Defense and HP) Weapon Traits: - Sword & Shield: Block Efficiency, Threat Generation - Greatsword: Crit Damage, Attack Speed - Wand & Tome: Healing Power, Buff Duration Playstyle Tips Tank/Support: Stick to the frontline, peel for allies, and use heals wisely.
